Winter DO NOT READ

Many years ago, frigid ice covered the land. The people feared the never-ending snow, giving in to fear. They all wondered what this meant, and how they could get rid of it. For decades, both men and women wished for the snow to vanish, to once again feel the grass on their bare feet.
Now, nearly a century later, the people of the land became accustomed to the freezing temperature. They gave up on all hope, and any thoughts of the past were gone.
..........................................................................
The snow isn't the worst thing the people of this land must face. Far East, the kingdom of Edoani lies. It's ruled by a ruthless queen, whose only joy is to see her citizens tortured and miserable. The heir to the throne, Prince Derric, hasn't a chance winning the people's favour.
The queen has many guards, two of which she's bestowed lots of power. Keteus and Jak are great enemies, who do their best to make each other miserable.
Avira, a well-known assassin, has escaped from her kingdom of birth, Geitram. When things went wrong, she knew she had to run, but life in Edoani doesn't seem to be much better.
Felisia is a witch from Lardosh, who's come to Edoani as a quest from her queen. She's one of the best witches in her kingdom, and hiding her abilities seems almost impossible.
Deep down in the dungeons of Edoani, a faery named Emayn is bound. The queen saw her as a threat, and is the only one who knows of her existence. But it may not stay that way for long...
Edwin, the royal assassin, has had a life full of misery. Could someone ever change his ways, and bring him back to the light?
